PREVIOUSLY:

After we heal our wounds we head back to the clearing with the statues.  There are now only two statues rather than three statues.  We are not sure what the statue is nor any details about it.

Day 22:  April 22:  10:30 pm (Yemen)

We have the option of either going to the evil or waiting for it to come to us.  We decide that the risk of waiting in an unknown forest is too great.  We decide to take the fight to the evil.

The Missing Statue

·         There is a deep groove leading to the south

·         This is leading in the other direction as the first adventure

We make a short trip through the forest along a trail.  About 1/2 mile from the campsite we find a small cave entrance.  The entrance is about three feet in diameter

·         There is a broken arm lying on the ground at the entrance to the cave

·         Beeker takes the stone arm to beat people with

The passage streaches for about 40 feet before forking.  A larger passage leads to the northeast. 

·         Jeremy is riding on Beekers back

·         They both have Darkvision and take the lead into the tunnel

·         The make it to the fork before they have to make a save.

Beeker is grappled by a massive grapple attempt.  He is grappled and taking damage from this attack.  Combat begins.

·         Aaron:  He really can’t do anything because he is outside the cave.  He cast Daylight

·         Jeremy:  He is close enough to actually hit the snake

·         Tolan:  I wildshape into a snake to get past.

·         Beeker:  He tries to break the grapple and then goes into rage and then tries another grapple check but also fails.

·         EVIL:  It tries to grapple and constrict Beeker but it fails

·         Aaron:  He casts Spiritual Weapon but it has no effect because the creature has spell resistance

·         Jeremy:  He tries to flurry the creature

·         Tolan:  I manage to get behind the snake and next round I plan to kick its ass

·         Beeker:  He tries to break the grapple and fials

·         Evil:  It constricts Beeker and deals damage

·         Aaron:  He managed to kill it with his Spiritual Weapon

Beeker has decided to keep raging and run down the path.  They choose the path that has the grove where the statue was dragged.  I decide to stay in snake form as long as I can.

Day 22:  April 22:  10:45 pm (Yemen) (Tolan)

At the fork there is a larger passage to the northeast.  There is a smaller passage to the northwest that I am the only one able to get through.  As I move I am force to make a hide check.

·         there is an odd shaped room

·         It is a 20 x 15 room with 12 foot ceilings

·         in the center of the room is a medium sized reptilian man

o       He says, “I am coming to get you mothers”

·         Evil:  he gets the drop on me and comes swinging at me with a giant falchion

·         Tolan:  I move into the room and cast Flame Strike

·         Evil:  He attacks me and hit for minor damage

·         Tolan:  I decide to return to Human form

·         Evil:  He attacks with a Falchion

After the battle with the reptile I decide to search the room.  There are two exits to this room; one to the southwest and one to the north.  I came in through the west wall.  After searching the body the only thing I can find is a Falchion.

From the way I came through the tunnel I decide to head to the north.  This should move me back toward the others.

Day 22:  April 22:  11:00 pm (Yemen) (Tolan)

The rest of the party is still at the entrance to the two caverns.  They are at the fork in the tunnel.

As I turn to the north to take the tunnel back I come face to face with something that causes me to make a FORT save.  I fail the save and now I am stone.

Day 22:  April 22:  10:45 pm (Yemen) (party)

They are heading down the Northeast passage.  They manage to travel to a room filled with large mushrooms.  As they enter the room Beeker drops Jeremy and throws his hammers at the creature in the far corner.  The mushrooms do not give cover.

·         Evil:  it attacked and forced a Reflex save from Jeremy and Beeker.  The creature spit a Cone of Acid.

o       Jeremy is able determine that it is a Digester

·         Beeker:  He throws the stone arm and it shatters

·         Evil:  It manages to spit another line of acid

·         Jeremy:  uses the Flurry and tries to stun

o       He stuns the creature and gets his extra attacks

·         Beeker:  He charges the creature and uses Power Attack

o       He deals massive damage on the hit

·         Aaron:  He gingerly steps into the room

·         Evil:  it is still stunned

·         Jeremy:  He attacks and manages to drop the creature

There is nothing really important that can be recovered from a Digester.  They move on down the tunnel.  They travel for another few minutes.  They enter a room that is filled with statues.

·         They take a few steps into the room

·         These seem to be the same

They enter a room that is 20 x 20.  There are several stone statues and a stone well in the corner.  There is blood on the floor and some of the statues appear to be damaged.

·         The blood is about two days old

o       All the blood appears to be human

o       There is no blood from any other creatures

The basin on the wall has a faint glow coming from the water.  It is filled with water and it is about 10 feet deep.

·         Beeker is the only one that is able to swim

o       He decides to get the glow

o       As soon as he touches the water, the water attacks

o       “If the water in the well is disturbed the Elemental attacks immediately”

·         Jeremy:  He is going to cast Magic Weapon on his hands but he did not say that he was casting defensively.

·         Evil:  It strikes with it’s water slam

·         Beeker:  Using Power Attack he is able to hit and deal massive damage

·         Aaron:  He tries to it but does not actually hit it

·         Jeremy:  He is moving to withing reach and using Flurry to only hit once

·         Evil:  It attacks Jeremy and hits once with a slam

·         Beeker:  He is still hitting and dealing massive damage

·         Aaron:  He wakes up long enough to hit the elemental and manages to kill it.

After the battle the Elemental disappears and the room is now empty.  Since the room is empty Beeker is able to swim down to the bottom of the well.  He is able to recover a glowing Longsword.

·         the sword is glowing greenand is bright enough to negate Darkvision

They spend a little time searching the room and they discover a secret door in the well room.  They opt to leave the door shut and take the path they were heading on.

Day 22:  April 22:  10:55 pm (Yemen) (party)

They are heading into another area of the cavern that supports glowing fungus and other mushrooms.  As they enter the mushroom room the mushrooms begin to scream and screech.

·         Evil:  The mushrooms start to attack both Beeker and Jeremy.

·         Beeker:  He attacks the closes mushroom and obliterates it and then takes out the nearest shrieking mushrooms

·         Jeremy:  He stands up and tries to flurry the creatures and severely splatters them

Day 22:  April 22:  11:00 pm (Yemen)

Jeremy get back on Beeker’s back and they head off into the direction they were heading.  They manage to walk another few yards into the room where I killed the scaly creature.

We are all reunited and the party has noticed that the statue is me and the male reptile creature is a Madar (male medusa).  The party is trying to determine what they are going to do with my statue and with the body.  They can tell that the room has been looted but they can’t tell anything else. 

There is another exit to this chamber.  The other exit is to the southwest and this is the exit that I did not take before.  The party is going to go on without me and try to come back for me later.

Day 22:  April 22:  11:15 pm (Yemen) (party)

As they move on they find another chamber with a fire burning.  There is a figure in the far corner of the room that is cloaked in a black robe. 

Other than the way the party came in there seems to be no other escape or door to this room.

Ted Quote:  “I would be all over Elf pussy.”

·         Evil:  A Wall of Ice forms between the party and the creature.  It completely seals the tunnel so that the party has to actually destroy the wall.

·         Beeker:  He drops Jeremy and decides to charge the Wall of Ice.  He is trying to break it and manages to get about half way through.

·         Jeremy:  He is going to try to punch the wall in the same spot as Beeker and try to break through

·         Aaron:  He summons a Celestial Lion and deals damage to the Medusa

·         Evil:  She is trying to petrify the party and she is causing ice rocks to fall from the ceiling

·         Beeker:  He is holding his action until later in the round

·         Jeremy:  He is still trying to damage to wall and manages to punch a hole in the wall

·         Beeker:  He is going to charge through the new opening in the wall at the Medusa but does not run the full distance.   BBBS

·         Aaron:  He was going to cast Searing Light but Ted decided that he was going to just run up and hit it.  BBBS

The party decides to search both the body and the nest.  They manage to find several items.

·         Chest

o       This is not locked

o       1,000 gp.

o       Silver chalice

§         There are gems set into the rim

·         Ring (magic)

·         Leather Armor (magic)

·         Short Bow (magic)

The party searches for several minutes.  The party decides to drag my body into this cavern and camp for the night.  This is where the adventure ends with the party in mortal danger.
